I wish I had a good and clear answer to your excellent question. If I'm manic I will tend to act out in anger/rage. Depressed or mixed state...I'll feel like crawling in bed, and I am actually exhausted from the ruminating.
Regardless of mood, what I'm trying to do when the rumination won't stop is self-care. For example, take a refreshing shower and give myself a mini-pedicure. Light candles, incense, and play music. Color my hair a fun color. Do chores - surprisingly, accomplishing chores helps me feel empowered and can disrupt the hamster-on-a-wheel thoughts.
